  • Gives you the terms of getting the answer you're looking for (Meredith and Dr. Y)
  • A question that begs other questions (Lauren)
  • Open-ended, not yes or no (Jenn)
  • A question that helps you think differently than before (Zakk)
  • Why/How questions are generally good (Bethany)
  • Non-vague or poorly worded (Jenn)
  • Not unintentionally ambiguous (Matt)
